Rapid Resilience Learning Brief: Leveraging Crisis Analysis Towards Resilience-Building Responses

USAID Center for Resilience, Mercy Corps and Resilience Evaluation, Analysis and Learning (REAL) Associate Award

The global rise in conflict-driven crises has reinforced the importance of long-term interventions that address humanitarian needs.

More Info

The global rise in the number and duration of conflict-driven crises has reinforced the importance of developing longer-term interventions that not only address humanitarian needs, but also strengthen households’ ability to better cope in crisis, reduce the occurrence of conflict-related shocks and transform the underlying drivers of crisis and vulnerability. Risk and resilience assessments are often the first essential step in the design and delivery of international assistance intended to help households cope, adapt and transform in shock-prone environments, but these tools have proven inadequate in protracted, conflict-driven crises. The need for continuous, granular, real-time risk analysis motivated inquiry into the relevance and applicability of rapid situational analysis tools — typically reserved for humanitarian settings — to resilience investments in protracted crises. This brief provides a case study in one such analytical method, Crisis Analytics at Mercy Corps, and its application to protracted crises in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

This case study was authored by Chris Hoffman (USAID) and Olga Petryniak (Mercy Corps).
